Naturally it also makes a couple of references to Ohio and Illinois as well.

I went ahead and put through the next blog, mostly to get done with it; coordinating the photos and the illustrations were a problem;

GLEN VAUDREY: Trail Cameras for Sumatra Part 9

Last week our very successful trail cam funding campaign came to an end and what a great success it has been.

Many thanks to all those people who donated we couldn’t have done it without you. Nor could we have done so well without a very generous discount from the good folk at Bushnell. Together they have enabled the CFZ to purchase four brand new trail cams for our upcoming expedition.

As you can see from the photo of Trevor the trail cam, he is glad to meet up with a couple of boys before they head off to the jungle.

However before the cameras head off to Sumatra with the aim of capturing the elusive orang pendek on film, they are out having a couple of days out in the British countryside being field tested. The results so far have been very promising.

It might not be a big cat but next doors feline who we shall call Blue, happily demonstrates the cameras in action.

The first thing that is self-evident (apart from there being a lack of wildlife in the CFZ garden last night) is that the images from the new machine are so much better than they were with the last machine...
